Indian Palms Golf & Country Club - Mountain/Royal

I booked a 2:00pm Tee time for Indian Palms in Indio, California and didn’t get play our round of golf.

I drove 30 minutes to reach the course and arrived 20 minutes early for our Tee time.

When I got to the ProShop to register, I was told that they didn’t have any golf carts available.

I was told to go to the clubhouse and I would be called when a cart was available.

Twenty five minutes later I returned to the ProShop asking for a cart.

The manager still said that no carts were available and I may have to wait another thirty minutes.

This was UNACCEPTABLE!

I will never set foot on this course again.

When I book a 2 o’clock tee time I expect to be in a cart and waiting by the first hole getting ready to tee off.

I’ve made the commitment to play and the course should be ready for my arrival.

I talked to the Manager about this issue and he could have cared less!

He didn’t go out of his way to help, offer suggestions, provide complimentary range balls or offer a discount.

We were paying for 18 holes and he couldn’t guarantee we would complete at least 9 holes.

He said they ran out of carts.

How can you run out of carts?

Three ways:

1) No maintenance being performed on the carts causing breakdowns

2) Over-booking the course

3) Being cheap and not ordering enough stock at the beginning of the season.

As a customer, I don’t care!

And hey how about having a fleet of pull-style carts available if you know you overbook?

Do no book a round of golf at this course, it is a waste of your time and effort!

I will not recommend this course to anybody, ever!

Old, tired, unkept. Greens were pretty quick but had a weird track pattern on them. Still putted well. Great course for beginners, high handicappers, wide fairways easy to keep in play. Houses are very near fairways on some holes.

This may have been a nice course at one time but it looks like it has been neglected for some time. The fairways are in very poor condition and the overall condition of the course leaves a lot to be desired. It was poorly marked and hard to find the tee boxes at times. There was debris everywhere and not even basis maintenance appears to be happening. I will not be returning to play here again and suggest you can find better value elsewhere.😫😫

Unfortunately the course is not in top condition. The fairways are dry, not enough grass and overall, not great.

I’m amazed that the homeowners surrounding the fairways don’t complain about the course conditions . It all looked tired and out of date. Yes, I was hoping of an inexpensive jewel round of golf, but nowhere near it. Lesson learned . … Nope, can’t go back.

Ok, price was good. If you read the other reviews, they’re pretty accurate for the golf course. The guy handling the carts was great and the starter was helpful too. It could be decent, but the yardage is not well marked. Some holes have blue, white and no red markers. The scorecard doesn’t match the tee boxes 😅 For instance, the red tees were actually the second hardest, so whoever is running the course needs to take a drive on the course and sort out the confusion.

A little more expensive than we have paid in the past

ACCESIBLE course for the bogey player. I found the greens faster than anticipated. On balance the courses level of maintenance was good. No “ punishing” holes, but some challenges.

Really rough shape from the mis marked tee boxes to the brown weedy greens. Just a real disappointment how this course has deteriorated over the years.

What terrible condition. Greens were awful and the fairways were worse. New owners need to take responsibility

Indian course, 5th green. The worker shaving off the green saw us and never placed back the flag. We rode two carts and both ran out of battery. Awful!

very little care by this club,,looks like they just dont care for golfers other than members..

After reading the reviews, my expectations were low. Fairways weren’t great, but the greens were quick and for the most part smooth. Tight, house lined course. We played Mountain and Royal. I preferred Royal. They allowed a group of 6 to play in front of us, but they actually moved along quite well. We teed off around 1:30 and finished the round.

Did not give us a key or a code for the one outdoor restroom on the golf course unacceptable.
